In this exclusive city hideaway, a favourite among international celebrities and dignitaries, a palette of vibrant blues and natural hues brings in the outdoors. City or mountains — what will it be today? Wake up to views of both from these upper-floor suites, offering separate living and sleeping spaces. By day, the wraparound windows in these spacious corner rooms let the sun shine in, and come nightfall, twinkling city lights create a scenic backdrop in the open living area. The sparkling waters of English Bay spread before you in our largest suite, where two-storey windows create plenty of opportunities to talk about the city below during elegant private parties and peaceful nights in. A lush garden and the surrounding Vancouver skyline greet you as you glide along our heated pool from inside to outside. Or simply sit poolside on the terrace with a cup of coffee.

By Jane McLean. Travel between these two cities is common because both are enticing destinations with an abundance of natural beauty, commerce, and business opportunities, many of which are shared between each location as part of international trade agreements, and many travels often build both of these destinations into one "West Coast" itinerary when traveling in this part of the world. Fortunately, travel between Seatle and Vancouver is relatively easy since the two cities are only three to four hours apart, depending on which transit option you take. However, plan to account for additional time at the border crossing from the United States to Canada, and make sure you have a valid passport or passport card for ground transportation between these two countries before trying to take any of these options. Amtrak Cascades operates trains daily between Seattle and Vancouver on a trip that takes four hours total and arrives at Pacific Central Station in Vancouver where passengers can pick up a train to either the airport or to the heart of downtown Vancouver. There is no direct ferry service between Seattle and Vancouver, but you can arrange your vacation with a pitstop in Victoria if you want to spend a bit more money and take in more of the sights. However, the ferry from Victoria to Vancouver actually leaves from Tsawwassen-Swartz Bay, which is an hour and a half away, so it's best to take in the island for a day before traveling across it to get to the ferry terminal.
